We are so excited about the arrival of the much anticipated Swedish born brand VAGABOND. In just days, the shoes have become cult favorites with our core shoppers, loyal fans, and staff members! To welcome Vagabond to the site—we thought we should show them how we do it…so three lucky ladies are going to win a pair of shoes in our first ever…
I’M A VAGABOND GIVEAWAY
Wikipedia sums up the Vagabond lifestyle as:
A vagabond or “drifter” is an itinerant person. The word is derived from the Latin adjective vagabundus, “inclined to wander”, from the verb vagor, “wander”. It does not denote a member of a nomadic people, but rather an individual who follows a wandering lifestyle within a sedentary society. Such people may be called drifters, tramps, or rogues. A vagabond is characterized by almost continuous travelling, lacking a fixed home, temporary abode, or permanent residence. Vagabonds are not bums, as bums are not known for travelling, preferring to stay in one location.[1]
For this challenge we are asking you to comment on this blog–we like to keep it simple during a heat wave girl! We wanna know…this summer where will your VAGABOND ways take you? If you could WANDER anywhere, where would it be and why. Each entry must follow the same format…NAME, WHERE YOU CURRENTLY LIVE, SHOE SIZE and RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGE. See below….

I’ll start my summer wandering in Goobertown, AZ, because all my ex-boyfriends have been begging me to visit. Next stop is Confidence, CA cause I’m a queen and I know it. In Climax, CO, I’m gonna reach my peak — hiking a fourteener (wink, wink!). From there, it’s a quick stay in Wahoo, NE because life is good and the open road even better. I’ve gotta watch my money in Tightwad, MO because my parents are from Cut-Off, LA. If any fools try to part me from my hard-earned cash, I’ll give them a trip to Smackover, AR on my way to Hard Axe, MI. I’ll shake what my momma gave me in Jugville, KY and transfix the boys all the way to Sweet Lips, TN. Maybe I’ll find true love in Hawaii Papa, GA, but he better be fine, because there is no way I’m going to Big Ugly, WV. We’ll stay up all night talking in Coffeeville, MS and when we get hungry at 2 am, we’ll hit Sandwich, MA because every summer vagabond summer needs a happy ending.

But there’s one thing I can’t get anywhere in LA, one place that exists only in Orlando FL that I need to get at and I actually looked into..At the risk of – nay, I will surely seem like a total dork…THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER! I’m still high off the last movie, and those boots by Vagabond really fit the Harry Potter aesthetic. I know I could have chosen to go to any exotic land but I really deeply in my heart just want to go there.

I would wander on the streets of Paris, France in these babies. Killer outfit, with killer shoes. Paris, where fashion lives, and where people are not afraid to express themselves! I would rock these Solestuck babies to the greatest vintage stores, the market, fine dining restaurants and take crazy black and white candid photos on the Eiffel Tower with all the pretty lights at night time. Smiling, laughing and dancing the whole time of course, I am wearing pure heaven on my feet! Then off to explore other parts of Europe… as I have only described a small taste of what my wandering days would be like in these shoes!
And why Europe you ask? Europe is where dreams are made of (my dreams anyways). The fashion is jaw dropping and I would finally be able to express myself freely without the cookie-cutter women in their ugly shoes judging my every oufit.

I’m needing a shoe that can help me strut to the motherland, NYC. The American mecca of fashion and place that lives and breathes stylish hopes and dreams. There may be a heatwave but trust I’ll make it there in the urban comforts of a Vagabond shoe. Some may say Paris is where it’s at, but I don’t like to swim and for me it’s patriotism over parisian fashion. So please Solestruck help my daydream of a trip conquering NYC in my vagabond booties continue. Cause some like it hot, so bring on the heatwave.

God, I love Solestruck with it’s biggest range of awesome shoes I’ve every seen in my life and the shipping to Russia, which is extremly rare in the USA on-line shops. Seriously, I love you. Don’t know what I would be addicted to if not for you!

This summer, I’d wander around Africa where I can tame the king lion, ride the cheetah, and sight see with the giraffe all the while enjoying my passion tea lemonade and my new pair of vagabond. Embracing a culture so different and so beautiful. Veni, Vidi, Vici.

My VAGABOND feet would certainly take me to Sweden to meet the makers of the glorious feet-kicking, street-kissing, glare-snatching shoes they wish to be upon them. I would then trail through the dense green forests and party til dawn in the Baltic sea.

This next year, I will be wandering throughout France to further advance my studies of the French language and culture but also to cultivate an even stronger sense of awareness within myself. I need to immerse myself in the European lifestyle by meandering through cobblestone streets, discovering our world’s history from unknown perspectives, engaging in conversation at quaint cafes and bars, indulging in magnificent couture, as well as experimenting with untouched styles of art and music, while I rock my VAGABONDS to the fullest.

Okay, let’s get real — if I could wander anywhere, it wouldn’t be Paris, London or Tokyo. No, my ambitions would lead me elsewhere, somewhere far more exotic. I would venture to Florida to swim in the beautiful waters home to the manatee. I once saw a nature program on manatees, and all they did was eat and swim all day without a care in the world. They’re vegetarians, too! So, my footwear fiends, find me in Florida’s fresh waters. (Hello, alliteration!)

Where would I wonder you ask?

I’m dying to wander the universe. Sore from planet to planet. Zip from star to star. Vacation on a distant moon where I can swim and dine with angels. I’d gather stardust as a souvenir to bring back and sprinkle on everything and everyone I love. Space. The final frontier. A Vagabond’s paradise.

Anyways who would to leave great Los Angeles? I mean people come here to take in the sun and hang out at the beach. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE. I’ve had the wandering/traveling bug since before I could remember. I need to go to Tokyo, Japan for that wonderful harajuku style. I need to go to Australia for an actual CLEAN and beautiful beach and ride I mean see some kangaroos. And maybe discover the under water kingdom of Atlantis, just saying. This weekend I am going to a punk music festival called sound and fury in San Diego but that’s not far enough nor nearly long enough. Maybe in these shoes it will make me get up, save some money, and go on the adventure I have been craving.

As a vagabond, I’ll start my journey in a little tin canoe on the Missouri river. I’ll paddle along, camping in forest glades and caves, until I reach St. Louis. From there, it is down the Mississippi until New Orleans where I’ll have a huge Cajun feast, hold a seance under the mossy trees in an old cemetary, and drink whiskey until I pass out in the velvety home of a strange debutante. While she’s sleeping, I’ll try on all her vintage frocks and huge feathered hats. After a few days in the French Quarter, I’ll sneak onto a cargo ship headed for Venezuela and explore South America. The beaches of Brazil, the Mayan ruins… I will braid my hair with parrot feathers and shells and make bikinis out of coconut shells, banana leaves and raw leather. Something tells me I’ll need a fierce pair of shoes for this journey…
